Filling in the gaps February 8, 2008

I came to Spain last August with little or no knowledge of Spanish, other than what I'd learned to repeat from the Pimsleur CD series. I then took a one-month intensive Spanish course at a good language school on the Costa del Sol. In September, I moved to Barcelona and found that my crash course had given me an excellent foundation in communication in Spanish. But I was learning by the seat of my pants, never having taken any formal classroom instruction in Spanish grammar. Pronouns, prepositions and verb tenses in general were vexing me, and I felt stymied. Then I got an Amazon gift card for Christmas and started looking at grammar books. Dorothy Richmond's books were highly recommended by reviewers, including teachers of Spanish, and now I know why. In a clear, methodical way, this book (which I purchased with Richmond's "Spanish Verb Tenses," which I also highly recommend)understandably and concisely explains the relevant grammatical rules, draws analogies to similar constructions in English, and leads the student through a progressive series of written exercises that neither leap ahead too quickly nor bore the student. I look forward to doing my lessons every day, and many mysteries of Spanish usage have been cleared up for me. I bought a second copy for my daughter, even though she's had years of high school Spanish and is far more fluent than I. This book is indispensable for both the intermediate learner and those wanting to sharpen their already acquired Spanish skills.
Man! who knew pronouns were so important?! November 20, 2007

I love this book! As a student of Spanish I have the hardest time learning when and how to use pronouns in Spanish. It seems so hard! Then I purchased this book, and things suddenly began to clear up. It's still not crystal clear, but now at least I understand when, why and how to use different pronouns even if I can't actually remember to do it. Despite the fact that some reviewers have noted about this book being geared toward Latin America, I still give the text 5 stars because for most non- native speakers of Spanish in the US the dialects you will come into contact with the most will be from Central and South America. So if pronouns and prepositions are making you crazy try this book out, I know it helped me and I am sure it will help you.

This is the most helpful workbook I own. Explanations are clear, examples are clear and practice sentences are many. Thanks.

Deciding to try and renew and expand my college spanish has been hard, but since I work as a nurse in the hospital it is also necessary. This book has been very helpful in finding verbs and conjugating them. However you'll need more than just this book to really put things together.
 great for anglophones August 16, 2007

however I would have rather an all Spanish book on this topic since I find it easier to understand/comprehend Spanish grammar instruction, in Spanish
this book is a fine addition to my library and I recommend it
